66 CALF CHOLERA. 



To Prevent Loss. 



After i-eiiioviiiK the afnicted calf from tlie rest of the calves, the stable should 

 be Ihorotishly disinfected with Liisiiifeetall, and the balance of the calves should be 

 Kiven Calf Cholera Remedy once daily with their regular feed, thereby keeping their 

 digestive organs in proper condition so that they may digest and assimilate their 

 food and thus escape the disease -"-ntirely. 



To Care for Calf Properly. 



The most impurtant factor in tlie raising of cattle is their care while young. 



Do not think that you are doing the correct thing if you are only managing to 

 keep the life in a calf until it is tlirec months old, and then have it get fat on grass 

 before tlie winter comes. If \'0u di.> this you are apt to have a lot of weaklings 

 with their digestix'e organs destroyed, which will never make stron,g, healthy steers 

 or cows and will not be good for either dairy, beef or breeding animals. 



Profit in Proper Care of Calves. 



It is but little more expense and care to give your calves the attention and food 

 necessary to keep thciu free from scours and other diseases and start them off with 

 digestive organs in good condition and a strong constitution. This can be done by 

 feeding your calves Calf Meal. By doing this you will lay the foundation of a 

 strong constitution upon which you can build a strong, healthy animal, and one 

 which with proper care will make you money in whatever line it is ])ut, whether beef 

 or breeding. 



Calves Contract Cholera. 



A calf that is not infected with the germs of Cholera at birth may contract 

 them later on from other causes, such as indigestion, close stabling and coining in 

 contact with calves already thus infected. The germs of cholera, when once intro- 

 duced into the system, propagate and multiply so rapidly that unless measures are 

 immediately taken to destroy them and stop their ravages in the system death will 

 ensue in a short time. 



Proper Food Should Be Furnished. 



The calf should receive proper food, free from fermentation, at regular inter- 

 vals and in reasonable amounts. To this food should be added a good, reliable Calf 

 Meal that will .aid digestion and prevent fermentation, thereby preventing the 

 formation of germs and causing a proper digestion and assimilation of the food. 



This is an insurance against death by scours or calf cholera. 



Treatment of Calf Cholera. 



While it is much easier to prevent a disease than it is to cure it, still it is very 

 important to know how to properly care for an animal after it is taken sick. This 

 is certainly the case with a calf which has Calf Cholera or scours, for if it is not 

 taken in hand promptly it will probably be too late to do anything for it, as the 

 disease is apt to prove fatal in a short time. 



AAdicn it is discovered that a calf has diarrlKea or scours it should be placed in 

 a clean, warm, Imise, well disinfected and ventilated stall, free from cold drafts, 

 but admitting plenty of sunlight. It should recei\'e a mild laxative to rid the bowels- 

 of the irritating ec^ntents, after which it should be given Calf Cholera Remedy. This 

 remedy will arrest fermentation, mildly check the secretions, aid digestion and 

 assimilation, thereby destroying and preventing the formation of germs, thus caus- 

 ing the bowels to be soothed and healed, enabling the calf to pass the ffeces in a 

 natural form. Roots of tail and hind quarters should be washed once daily with 

 Solution of Disinfectall.
